MOVE, the native token of the Movement Network, launched its mainnet on December 9, 2024, and has since then more than doubled its market cap, registering an all-time high price of $1.45 within a day of its launch. This young token managed to outpace the broader crypto market and recorded the highest gains among the top 100 crypto assets during the year-end slump.

With a promising technical landscape bringing together the best of the move programming language and the scalability & security of the Ethereum platform, investors are keen to know what’s in store for MOVE in the coming months.

Will the Movement Network successfully embark on its plan to revolutionize blockchain interoperability and pioneer Move-based technologies for the Web3 era? Can we expect MOVE to be one of the biggest gainers in the upcoming crypto bull run? Let’s find out.

Movement Network Overview

Movement Network is an Ethereum scaling solution from Movement Labs that leverages the Move Virtual Machine to process transactions on the Ethereum network, achieving finality in just one second.

Founded by Gen Z tech entrepreneurs, Cooper Scanlon and Rushi Manche, the Movement Network is the first parallelized Ethereum Virtual Machine based on the Move programming language. Movement Labs, the innovative force behind Movement Network, is supported by leading investors such as Polychain Capital, Binance Labs, Hack VC, Placeholder, and Archetype.

With 160,000 transactions per second and less than $0.01 cost per transaction, Movement is the fastest and most secure layer-2 blockchain on Ethereum. By combining the best of Ethereum’s ecosystem with the Move programming language’s efficiency and security, the network aims to transform accessibility, scalability, and security for decentralised apps (dApps).

Movement's main purpose is to provide a platform for developers to build and launch decentralized apps that need high security and performance. By connecting the Move and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystems, Movement supports the creation of various applications, such as DeFi, gaming, and NFTs.

The Movement Network launched its Mainnet in December 2024, airdropping 1 billion $MOVE tokens at $0.68 apiece to its early adopters and community members.

$MOVE has several key functions within the Movement ecosystem, including:

• Staking: Validators can stake $MOVE to help secure the network and earn rewards.

• Transaction Fees: Users pay network transaction fees using $MOVE.

• Governance: $MOVE holders can propose and vote on network changes.

This crypto airdrop was valued at $830 million, kickstarting the native token’s launch into the mainstream cryptocurrency markets. Within a day of its launch, this token scaled its all-time high valuation of $1.45, on December 10, 2024.

At the time of writing, MOVE exchanged hands at $1.04.

Movement (MOVE) Price Prediction 2025

The Movement Network steps into 2025 with a strong bullish sentiment.

One of the major drivers of MOVE’s positive price outlook is its partnerships with the leading digital asset custody and security company BitGo. Through this partnership, a tokenised version of Bitcoin on the Ethereum blockchain called WBTC will be available on Movement’s Mainnet. By incorporating WBTC into its network, Movement throws up opportunities for its users in asset utilisation, liquidity provision, and participation in decentralized financial services. This partnership also boosts the network’s DeFi offers, which is currently one of the most thriving niches in the crypto world.

Within a month of its Mainnet launch, MOVE has successfully secured listings on crypto exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, OKX, and Upbit. As the native token continues to secure listings on leading crypto exchanges like Flitpay, we can expect the demand and price for MOVE to escalate.

Movement Network also announced a strategic partnership with Taisu Ventures to drive the growth of Web3 Ecosystem in key Asian markets such as Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore. This partnership aims to introduce Movement Labs' technology to a wider audience of developers, startups, and investors in the Web3 space through a series of educational and networking events. The Movement Network has also collaborated with Up Network and is in the process of making a Movement phone.

Further, as 2025 is the year of the much-anticipated crypto bull run, we can expect MOVE to join in the cheer and achieve new price heights. The total supply of MOVE is 10 billion tokens, which is the ideal tokenomics to support the rising demand for MOVE in the coming months. With its large total supply, rising demand will result in a rise in price, especially in bullish market conditions.

Our Movement (MOVE) price prediction for 2025 in USD is $5.28 (maximum), $0.5 (minimum) and $1.7 (average).

Similarly, the Movement (move) price prediction for 2025 in INR is INR 453.65 (maximum), INR 42.96 (minimum) and INR 146.06 (average).

Movement (MOVE) Crypto Price Prediction 2026

Currently, the Movement Network has 100+ projects across AI, social media, NFTs, gaming, wallets, DeFi, Infrastructure and more. These apps form a part of the Movement ecosystem, boosting its usability, demand and eventually the price of its native token MOVE. With such a wide range of apps across various niches, we can expect the Movement Ecosystem to be one of the biggest platforms in the layer-2 blockchain space.

Nexio, the first parallelized Bitcoin rollup, is based on the Movement Network. Recently, Nexio received $2.2 million in pre-seed funding. For the uninitiated, Bitcoin rollups are layer-2 solutions built to help Bitcoin layer-1 process transactions faster and more securely. For the uninitiated, rollups operate parallel to the main blockchain but not directly on it, working to improve throughput and scalability and lower transaction fees. Nexio will certainly contribute to the churn and activity on the Movement network, contributing to its growth story significantly.

The Movement ecosystem also houses one of the most expansive and detailed repertoires of guides, tutorials, developer tools and more across NFT, DeFi and more.

Aside from this, the Movement community includes Ethereum ‘buildathons’ and thriving Movement Guilds which are specialized groups contributing to the growth of the Movement ecosystem across blockchain development, protocol development, ecosystem outreach, testing, content creation and more. These community engagements will continue to drive the use and demand for the Movement Network, further boosting the adoption and price of MOVE.

Currently, the Movement Network does not have a detailed roadmap. Also, if 2025 remains a bull driven year for cryptocurrencies including MOVE, we can expect some price adjustments in 2026. Following which, MOVE price could plummet to stabilize.

Thus, our Movement (MOVE) price prediction for 2026 in USD is $11.2 (maximum), $1.6 (minimum) and $3.45 (average).

The same Movement (MOVE) price prediction for 2026 in INR is INR 962.3 (maximum), INR 137.47 (minimum) and INR 296.4 (average).

Movement (MOVE) Crypto Price Prediction 2030

There is no denying that the popularity of layer-2 solutions has surged in recent years. Layer-2 solutions such as the Movement Network enable compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and ensure greater scalability with lower transaction costs.It won’t be wrong to say that the further growth of blockchain is nestled in the growth of layer-2 solutions, as layer-2 solutions can significantly increase transaction capacity, allowing for thousands of transactions per second.

Ethereum's layer-2 blockchains could reach a market cap of $1 trillion by 2030. Going forward, we can expect layer-2 solutions such as the Movement Network to grow leaps and bounds as DeFi and Web3 apps continue to expand.

How well the Movement Network can capitalize on the growing demand for layer-2 solutions depends on its ability to continue building strategic partnerships, improving its Mainnet capabilities and embarking on a well-charted development roadmap. The platform can also work on improving token utility over and above governance, staking, and collateralization in DeFi protocols.

However, we cannot oversee the growing competition around scaling solutions. The new projects emerging with more advanced solutions, can setback MOVE. To remain at the helm, Movement must keep upgrading and continue providing a sturdy infrastructure.

Keeping these factors in mind, we have a neutral to wide price projection for MOVE for 2030.

Our Movement price prediction for 2030 in USD is $27.81 (maximum), $8.33 (minimum) and $15.43 (average).

The same Movement price prediction for 2030 in INR is INR 2,389.43 (maximum), INR 715.71 (minimum) and INR 1,325.7 (average).

Movement (MOVE) Price Prediction 2040

The global blockchain market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 65% over the coming decades. Blockchain platforms like the Movement Network stand to gain tremendously from this growth, should they continue to offer competitive transaction costs and high processing speed in addition to building strategic partnerships that increase their institutional participation & user/developer base across NFTs, gaming, infrastructure, DeFi and other breakthrough crypto niches.

Since 2040 coincides with another Bitcoin halving event, we can anticipate its positive effects to ripple across all altcoins, including MOVE.

However, it's important to note that making long-term price predictions in the volatile world of cryptocurrencies comes with uncertainties. We advise investors to conduct comprehensive research before making any investment decisions.

We have a neutral and wide price outlook for MOVE crypto for 2040.

Our Movement (MOVE) price prediction for 2040 in USD is $46.83 (maximum), $21.08 (minimum) and $32.57 (average).

Likewise, the Movement (MOVE) price prediction for 2040 in INR is INR 4,023.63 (maximum), INR 1,811.19 (minimum) and INR 2,798.41 (average).

Movement (MOVE) Price Prediction 2050

Given the ever-evolving nature of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, making a price prediction for the Movement network for 2050 is limited. If the network successfully rolls out and achieves a progressive and multi-faceted roadmap, we can expect MOVE to be one of the leading crypto tokens in the long term. Additionally, with its high throughput, developer-friendly tools, and strategic integration with Ethereum's Layer 1 network, Movement is well-positioned to become a leading Layer-2 solution in the long term.

From a macroeconomic perspective, regulatory frameworks, investment sentiment and large-scale outlook towards blockchain would be major determinants of MOVE’s growth story.

Additionally, one should remember that when it rains, it pours, and the same applies for the crypto market as well. Quoting exact predictions in the long-term is challenging as one significant negative event can impact the overall crypto market.

Keeping these factors in mind, we have a neutral long-term outlook for MOVE.

Our Movement price prediction for 2050 in USD is $74.11 (maximum), $ 33.70 (minimum) and $48.42 (average).

The same Movement price prediction for 2050 in INR is INR 6,367.53 (maximum), INR 2,895.5 (minimum) and INR 4,160.24 (average).

Below is a compiled table of MOVE price predictions for 2025, 2026, 2030, 2040 and 2050 in USD:

Can MOVE reach $5 in 2025?

Yes, MOVE can reach $5 in 2025, as this native token is poised to gain a lot of value this year. We expect MOVE to reach an all-time high of $5.23 this year.

Given the upcoming crypto bull run coupled with the Movement Network’s expansive crypto projects, lucrative strategic partnerships and promising plans including the development of a Movement rollup and a Movement smartphone, we expect MOVE to be one of the biggest gainers among  layer-2 Ethereum Virtual Machines in this year.
